What will you do if you want to restore your lost WhatsApp messages or you want to restore some older whatsapp messages? In this case, many users will turn to a practical WhatsApp backup extractor for help. However, not all the WhatsApp extractors are helpful and even some of them will download all the backup files and finally mess up your phone. But don't worry, here we are going to show you a wonderful iPhone backup extractor, which can also work as a WhatsApp backup extractor. RecoveryTool iPhone Data Recovery is specially designed for iPhone users to recover lost data and what is more, it is definitely safe and easy to operate.

Part 1: Locate iOS Backup on Your Computer

Your computer saves backups made in iTunes to the Backup folder in your Users folder. The location of the Backup folder varies by operating system. Though you can copy the Backup folder, you should never move it to a different folder, external drive, or network drive.
On Mac: To find a list of your backups, click in the menu bar, then enter ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
On Windows: To find a list of your backups, go to \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
If you need copies of your backups, you can find the Backup folder and copy the entire folder (not just part of it) to another place, like an external drive or network-storage location.
When you use Time Machine, it automatically copies your Backup folder when you back up the Home folder on your Mac.
